The reason why 'Dream of the Red Chamber' had a tragic ending was because it was a novel and a historical novel at the same time. The plot of the novel described the microcosm of the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, while historical novels paid more attention to the political, economic, cultural and other historical phenomena of the real society. In Dream of the Red Chamber, the author Cao Xueqin reflected the various ills of the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty through the death and separation of the main characters such as Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, etc., such as official corruption, family disputes, social darkness, etc. At the same time, it also reveals the complexity and unpredictability of human nature, which makes the ending of the novel full of sadness and tragedy. The happy ending could not perfectly express the theme and plot of Dream of the Red Chamber because it could not reflect the historical and social reality depicted in the novel. As a result, the ending of 'Dream of the Red Chamber' was destined to be a tragedy.
